  • While the sausage is browning, cut up the sun dried tomatoes into bit size pieces about the size of a pea, and set aside.

  • Add the cherry tomatoes, and stir so that the tomatoes are on the surface of the pan so they start to blister. Give them a couple minutes to blister with lid on. Now add the olive tapenade and a touch of water, broth or white wine, and cover with a lid for about 4 minutes, then stir, and cook for another 1-2 minutes, till heated through.
